Silk Eye Surgery permanently reshapes the cornea by removing a lenticule, so the visual correction is long‑lasting. However, natural ageing processes such as presbyopia or cataract formation can still affect vision. Centre for Sight notes that while the results last a lifetime, individuals over 40–45 years may eventually require reading glasses.
Most patients can resume routine activities within a couple of days. Vision usually stabilises within 24–48 hours, but tasks requiring precise focus (e.g., driving or fine detailed work) should be postponed until your surgeon confirms adequate visual acuity. Avoid strenuous exercise and swimming for several days as instructed.
Yes, the flap‑less technique preserves corneal nerves and reduces the risk of dry‑eye symptoms compared with LASIK. Patients with pre‑existing mild dry eye may benefit from Silk Eye Surgery, but those with severe dry eye or ocular surface disease need a careful evaluation to ensure adequate tear film and healing capacity.
SILK is designed to treat myopia up to about –8 to –10 dioptres and astigmatism up to –3 dioptres. For very high refractive errors or hyperopia, other procedures like LASIK, phakic intraocular lenses or refractive lens exchange may be more suitable. Your ophthalmologist will recommend an option based on your prescription and corneal thickness.
